Vinsterna är små” är inte bra nog. Det ska inte vara några vinster. Det är skattepengar som ska gå till utbildning. Oavkortat.

(Some) Israelis are going to the polls today. Today in Focus offers comprehensive background coverage. #netanyahu #israel

Congratulations, #Brazil! Congratulations,world! #lula

Going back to Morrison's early work, it's noticeable how her language evolved over the years. The stark voice, however, is inevitably hers. #TheBluestEye #ToniMorrison #booksky

Så Thand Ringqvist vägrar att prata med V, men "står varandra nära i vissa frågor" efter att ha träffat Åkesson. Så mycket för den röda linjen. Jag är inte imponerad.

At times, a discrepancy slips in between Claudia, the child, and her reflections as the narrator. But it’s Morrison. I will forgive her anything. #TheBluestEye #ToniMorrison #booksky

Remind me again why we need a Labour government, if they’re only going to act as a proxy to the Conservatives. In the midst of a #ClimateCrisis, #AndyBurham decides that it’s a good idea to drill for more fossil fuel. That’s absolutely tone deaf.

Sometimes the feeling we're left with, is all we remember from a read. What is one book that you've read that you don't fully remember, but that left a visceral feeling that stayed? I'm going to have to revisit Bill Clegg's #DidYouEverHaveAFamily sometime soon. #BillClegg #booksky

It’s hard not to wonder what it does to a woman’s mind and views, whose family teaches her that a man has all the rights to her body and voice. #educated #TaraWestover #booksky

Desperation is a man’s best friend when he’s about to lose the midterms. Integrity be damned. #trump #RussiaWar

Researchers at University of St Andrews analysed 38 studies and found that in 33 of them, women with the same medical condition as men were less likely to be offered treatment such as surgery, a stent or a strong painkiller. Medical #misogyny happens. #FeministFriday

I want to live in a world where 12-year-olds are not used to target adults and then dismissed as collateral damage, all in the name of self-defense. #NAZA

Make no mistake. It’s due to the political backlash that he changed his mind, not basic human decency.

Calling all #NorthernIreland #physics teachers.

When you can’t beat them in an election, deport them? Vote them out while you still have free elections. #IlhanOmar #MidtermElections

Oh look, they managed to find two more men to award. Whattya know? #NobelSoMale #NobelPrize

Aren’t we fortunate that these six researchers are men, or we wouldn’t have heard about their trailblazing findings? #FeministFriday #NobelPrize #NobelSoMale

The #SixthCommandment seems to be lost on performative Christians. #PeteHegseth

Execution is killing. Killing is a crime. Being tough on crime can’t come down to state sanctioned crime. #CapitalPunishment #DeathPenalty

Chapter 12, Fish Eyes, is one long demonstration of patriarchal oppression and the ugliness of the human psyche. #educated #TaraWestover #booksky

According to #Trump, using taxpayer funds to pay for ads that praise the president and their policies is "a rather standard thing to do". It is—in North Korea. #StatePropaganda

På 125 år har inte fler än åtta(!) kvinnor mottagit #Nobelpriset i #kemi, och Christina Moberg, professor i organisk kemi, hävdar med emfas att det inte är så ”att kvinnor på något sätt är förfördelade”. Jodå, den internaliserade misogynin lever och frodas.

Just got to Chapter 11, Instinct, and for the first time, I don’t know where Westover is going with her writing or what drove her to retell this passage. #educated #TaraWestover #booksky

Having adopted a child, I lived through it all—adoption school, interviews, background check, investigations, home visit, you name it. Reading Westover, I’m wondering if not all prospective parents should have to be put through that process. #educated #TaraWestover #booksky

After 124 years and 218 men laureates (14 women), we couldn’t make an effort to highlight the equally important research done by women. #NobelSoMale #NobelPrize

Tja, det finns ju en stolt tradition i vissa politiska läger kring övergrepp mot etniska grupper. #samer #sverigedemokraterna

There’s a world in which the oppressed doesn’t have to learn to free themselves from loyalty to the oppressor. I want to live in that world. #educated #TaraWestover #booksky

Magee captures the tone of the kind of masculinity that usually has no tone to it. #CloseToHome #MichaelMagee #booksky

Ida Gabrielsson är alltså ”för trött” för att gå till jobbet. Jag vet att #Vänsterpartiet vill ha sex timmars arbetsdag. Jag visste inte att de ville ha arbiträrt deltagande.

Så, än en gång krokar #Vänsterpartiet arm med högern i tron om att det främjar vänsterpolitik. Det skriker inte regeringsduglighet, direkt.

Who else has got The Bluest Eye on their TBR? We’re starting this beautiful read in our Fable book club today. Join us! It’ll be fun. #TheBluestEye #ToniMorrison #booksky

1) Establish #BeautyStandards that are so narrow, they cancel every actress over 35. 2) Criticize every actress who tries to stay relevant past their imposed prime, by living up to said beauty standards. Double punishment keeps the Patriarchy alive and well—every time. #FeministFriday

Toddler pushes friend. Friend finds other friends. Toddler throws a fit and threatens to "tariff the hell out of" friend. #EU #canada

Jo tack, jag tror inte en enda rasist i hela Sverige har missat det budskapet. #liberalerna #val2026

Oavsett hur det går med rösträkningen går det inte att bortse från att halva befolkningen röstade på något av partierna som skulle möjliggöra en rasistisk regering med SD i fronten. För att citera Åkesson: ”Sverige ska inte se ut så här.” #val2026 #sverige

Men jo, det är bra med #avreglering. Funkar varje gång.

To think that human feelings are so intimidating, you have to stuff yourself with substances to share them with your closest friends. It must be exhausting to carry that kind of masculinity. #CloseToHome #MichaelMagee #booksky

Bara så att vi är på det klara med det här. I SD:s Sverige är det alltså fullt acceptabelt för män att tala om för kvinnor att de ska le och se glada ut. Svenska värderingar på det! #JimmieÅkesson #sexism

Seven years in prison for organizing a vigil in memory of those killed while being the voice of #democracy. And the world watches silently, not to provoke a market our economy can't afford to lose. #china

Writing opportunity for older British Asian women. #writing

Why are people calling it a #gender reveal party when it’s the #sex that they are revealing?

On September 7, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) launched the world’s first International Standard providing guidance to help organizations support employees experiencing #menstruation and #menopause at work—ISO 45010:2026. Progress happens. #FeministFriday

I wonder if people who speak up against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social attending the Ground Zero ceremony are as vocal when it comes to white Christians attending school shooting memorials. #911 #ZohranMamdani

När Sveriges radio frågar politiker vilken #forskning de vill satsa på under nästa mandatperiod är det inte en enda som så mycket som nämner #humaniora i en bisats. Beklämmande.

Man kan lita på att #SD skyller resultaten från #PISA på ”massinvandringen”. För allt de vet är det roten till allt från inflation och arbetslöshet till klimatkris och kulturkollaps. Vad skönt det måste vara med så enkla svar på så komplexa frågor.

New research from the @trevorproject.bsky.social and Glisten links inclusive school environments to better outcomes for trans students. Who knew feeling of belonging and support would improve people’s wellbeing, engagement, and performance? #LGBTQRights #inclusion

This is a moment—not for the Neo-Nazis to claim victory, but for the rest of us to organize for democratic freedoms and rights. #AFD #germany
